Time and again law enforcement officers have opted for the Police Model since its debut in 1984. Spyderco packs as much blade length as possible into the handle for big cutting power in a slim profile. The Police Model has a David Boye dent cut out of the locking lever
allowing you to gorilla grip the knife without accidentally releasing the lock. The blade is hollow-ground VG-10 and thick at the tip for added strength with a weight-reducing swedge along the spine. All stainless, the handle is perfect for engraving or embossing. Steel
clip positions the knife for tip-down pocket carry.

In the 1990s Spyderco was approached by a specialized branch of U.S. law enforcement about making a knife for their undercover agents. These plain-clothes LEOs found themselves in situations where they often could not carry a firearm but carrying a knife was not a problem.
Most had no formal training in self-defense tactics or MBC but as a last resort could use a blade to protect or extricate themselves from a life-threatening situation. This was how the Civilian model came to be. The Civilian has a patented reverse "S" blade
that's intended to be used like an oversized claw. The tip is ground to an ultra-thin profile. Deeply curved and full at the belly, the VG-10 hollow-ground blade excels in slicing and is available fully SpyderEdged. Because of its distinctly specialized features it is
not intended or designed for general utility or everyday use. Curved in all the right places for ergonomic use and retention of the knife, the handle is black G-10. Mounted for tip-down carry with a custom curved black clip, the knife rides deeply and unobtrusively in
a pocket. One of the most specialized CLIPITS in the Spyderco line-up, the Civilian is available in limited quantities.

Cutting during emergency situations requires that Save and Serve Professionals have a readily accessible knife and are able to quickly and safely cut around people in hectic surroundings. Performance, ergonomics and comfortable use are all key elements needed in a rescue
knife. Spyderco\'s Rescue sheepfoot blade is flat saber-ground VG-10. Available in three colors. Black and orange Rescues are fully SpyderEdged with serrations to the tip of the blade. The blue C14 is fully serrated with 1-inch of PlainEdge at the tip for detailed cutting
and wire stripping. The Spyderco Trademark Round Hole is enlarged to 14mm resulting in an enlarged hump that boosts ergonomics, strengthens the blade and lessens fatigue during long term/repetitive cutting. Spine texturing, a deep choil and Volcano-Grip keep the knife from
slipping in the hand. FRN handle comes equipped with an ambidextrous tip-up carrying clip.

Reasons we offer smaller knives are numerous but essentially people's hands come in different sizes and we occasionally find ourselves in social situations that dictate use of a smaller blade. Many think smaller versions of the same model are simply
shrunk down. Not so. For every design to reach its utmost level of ergonomic comfort and maximum performance we often take features and engineer/rework them into a more diminutive pattern. An example is our 79mm version of the Rescue Model. A smaller equivalent
of the C14 93mm Rescue, it too has a flat saber-ground, SpyderEdge, VG-10 blade that ends in a sheepfoot safety tip. For smoother thumb rotation we enlarged the Spyderco Trademark Round Hole, which in turn creates a prominent hump to position the thumb on while
cutting. The FRN waffle textured handle is available in indigo blue, black and safety orange with an ambidextrous, tip-up pocket clip.

A cornerstone in Spyderco's Save and Serve line up, the Military Model came about after someone asked Spyderco's owner Sal Glesser, "If your son were going into the military what folding knife would you send him with?" For certain, it had
to meet the requirements of a high-performance, light-weight folder designed for hard use. Since the steel is the spirit of the knife, CPM-S30V with almost 2% carbon seemed the logical choice for the blade given its reputation for long-term edge retention and rust
resistance. The 'Millie' has a modified clip-point blade laser cut with a 14 mm Spyderco Round Hole for quick deployment and for use with gloves. Texturing above the hole hold the thumb in contact with the blade's spine during cutting for confident control over
the sharpened edge. The handle scales are G-10 with the lock's liner nested (inlayed) directly into the scale, pumping up lock strength without the addition of bulky liners. Spacers between the scales create a gap running the handle's full length exposing the inside
workings for inspection and cleaning. The handle flares slightly at the front end creating a finger choil and at the butt end, which keeps the knife from slipping forward or backward in the hand while sawing or making tough or aggressive cuts. A contoured black
metal clip is set for right-hand tip-down carry.

Engineered for
the human hand, the Native's ergonomic design maximizes cutting
ability while minimizing discomfort and fatigue. This model is
all about combining performance and comfort. Since the portion
of the knife most in contact with the user is the handle, that
became key while the model was in initial development on the drawing
table. We've created a handle pattern with two separate finger
choils. The first choil (where the blade and handle meet) allow
positioning the index finger closer to the knife's sharpened edge
for control over the cutting surface. Behind the first choil, the
second positions the hand farther back on the folder for dexterous
cutting while pushing the blade away from you. Bi-Directional Texturing
molded into the FRN handle form varying levels of steps minimizing
forward or backward sliding. Carved out of the locking lever is
a David Boye Dent insuring the lock remains safely engaged even
when gripping the handle forcefully. A section of non-sharpened
serrations line the blade's spine yield an additional slip resistant
point for the thumb. The blade itself is hollow-ground CPM-S30V
steel with a weight reducing swedge ground from the spine. A black
steel tip-up clip can be placed ambidextrously on both sides of
the handle via a barrel-shaped screw that doubles as a lanyard.
